National Organizing Director

NARAL Pro-Choice America is seeking a National Organizing Director to drive the strategy for and oversee the work of our organizing department and to support NARAL in achieving its ambitious political and advocacy goals.

As the nation’s leading pro-choice advocacy group, NARAL Pro-Choice America is dedicated to protecting and expanding reproductive freedom for all Americans, including abortion access. Along with more than 2 million member activists from all 50 states and network of state affiliates, NARAL works to guarantee that each woman has access to the full range of reproductive freedoms. This means we’re on the front lines in the fight to expand access to abortion, make contraception more affordable, prohibit discrimination against pregnant women, and ensure all parents have access to paid leave.

At NARAL, we don’t operate or litigate; we organize and mobilize. Working together, we push our friends to be bolder, lift up the champions fighting with us on the front line for true reproductive freedom, and we shine a spotlight of accountability on bad actors that work to impose their ideological agenda on others.

Location: Washington, DC

Reports To: National Campaigns Director

This Position Is: Full-time, Exempt, Non-Union, Level V

Summary:

The National Organizing Director is responsible for developing and driving NARAL’s organizing strategy to build grassroots power at the state and national level. Key components of the job include working to deepen the engagement of our members and activists, working hand in hand with NARAL’s digital department to build a strong cadre of volunteer leaders across the U.S., and coordinating national and state field campaigns to advance pro-choice polices, candidates, and combat anti-choice attacks. The National Organizing Director will work with the Campaigns Director and other members of NARAL leadership to build out our organizing model that includes both field and distributed organizing tactics, and design the strategy to take our organizing work to the next level in order to achieve campaign wins and build long-term power. The director will oversee a team of organizers and manage the hiring, training, and deployment of regional staff to expand our reach and activate volunteers across the country.

This hire comes at a critical time for our organization and the reproductive rights movement. With President Trump successfully stacking the Supreme Court with anti-choice nominees like Brett Kavanaugh and anti-choice state governments emboldened to try to pass extreme abortion bans and restrictions, the threats to abortion access and other reproductive rights have never been greater. At the same time, we have major new opportunities to not just protect, but advance, reproductive rights at the state level and elect pro-choice candidates in the 2020 election.
